Thats exactly what I used. A Hair dryer. But BE WARNED, in no way it will go back to what it looked like before you took it apart. Mine separated again after some months... it's just not designed to be opened by users.

And just like that, we open the Nano as if it's one of the tiniest books in existence.

The front glass on the 6th generation Nano sticks up about .3 mm from the flat face of the outer case. Why, you ask? Presumably the headphone jack. Apple wanted to keep the device as thin as possible, and the curvature of the edges would have forced the case to be thicker for a completely flush glass panel. A thicker case was ditched in favor of the glass sticking out slightly.

The battery can be pried out of the case with an iPod Nano opening tool, but unfortunately, it is soldered to the logic board.

The 3.7 V lithium-ion battery has a listed capacity of .39 Watt-hours that provides up to 24 hours of continuous music playback.

Converting to the usual amp-hours, we see that the Nano's battery has a capacity of 105 mAh, compared to the Shuffle's 51 mAh.

This iPod Nano's battery only has two wires, one red and one black. All the other iPod Nanos we've taken apart have included three battery wires. That third battery wire typically ties into a thermistor, a resistor whose value changes with temperature (a poor man's thermometer). Presumably the iPod Nano's battery is small enough and the charge rate is slow enough that overheating is not a concern.

On the headphone audio cable, there is a small black "bubble" with small metal part near the white hole to fix the jack to the ipod case.

Do you think this small bubble can be a fuse ?

I've replace the cable with success, power and volume works, but have sound only on the right earphone. After some try, i have no more sound !

I've made some test with a multimeter to check continuity from the 4 jack pin to the motherboard connector and it's seems that there is no connection. I have done the same test on the old cable, and i found continuity for all pin (groud, mic, left and right)

There is no fuse in the headphone. I checked with a meter after my unit had sound from only one side, like yours. Apple did not want to repair it and offered a ten percent off on the 7th Gen model instead. I opened mine with a hair dryer and carefully inspected the headphone socket for damage with a circuit tester, no joy. I ordered a headphone part from eBay and replaced it carefully. No joy either, it still only has sound from one side. It's a paperweight now. I'll never get another Apple player. There are many others to choose from now.

Hi there! A teardown is meant for entertainment purposes only, it is not a guide to be followed! Be sure to read all warnings, like this one: "This teardown is not a repair guide. To repair your iPod Nano 6th Generation, use our service manual."

This is a teardown, a fun look at the interior, not a repair guide. You can follow our logic board assembly guide to remove the logic board and battery, and with some fairly simple soldering, you can swap the battery.

when I open it!! the screen using two cables!! and one of these, come out of screen, and I realise I lose the touch!! there is any king of way to fix that problem? can I fix the cable on the screen again?

When handling the screenIe ie. folding it over out of the way, be most careful not to damage the screen cable.

This cable is made up of two pieces, the smaller of which is extremely delicate and is easily broken. GO SLOW AND CAREFULLY.

Apple came up with a poor design . The small cable should have been made much more robust.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT.

The two battery terminals are soldered to the motherboard. To disconnect the battery, the terminals at the motherboard can be heated up with a soldering iron but this must be done most delicately otherwise the red wire connection will be ruined and it will not be possible to connect the new battery terminal to the motherboard.

The red and black wires need to be carefully folded between the motherboard and the battery.

Apple came up with a poor design by using soldered wires rather than a cable type connection for the battery connection.
